When should I use an aluminium ladder?

A ladder ensures that you reach a certain height easily, quickly and safely. Without any effort and within no time, you will stand firmly, stable and very comfortably at the required height. This is an excellent choice when you do a job where you don't have to move too much sideways. There are more suitable alternatives for fixed workplaces. Do you have to stand at the same place for more than two hours? Then we recommend an aluminium stairway or rolling tower.

How many rungs do I need?

The sky is the limit… literally. The number of rungs you need depends on the height you have to reach. When you start a job, you know which height you have to reach. Based on this, you know which ladder is best suited for your work activities. Buying a stairway with 8 rungs, you reach a height of at least 3.5 metres. A combination ladder with 2 x 10 rungs will enable you to reach almost 4 metres. Need to reach higher? Choose then a 3-section combination ladder. The largest combination ladder has 3 ladder sections, each with 14 rungs, which let you reach maximum 9 metres working height. In-between distances can be achieved using folding ladders, telescopic ladders and single-sided straight ladders. Each ladder has its own advantages.

To make you work as safe as possible, we make safety exceedingly visible with one quick glance. Our Red Step® tells you when you have reached the last rung on which you may stand. Please make sure that the ladder protrudes at least one metre above the object on which the ladder leans. Often this concerns a roof or a gutter. This gives you a firm grip on working safely.
